Jose reports dismissed

LONDON. — Jose Mourinho’s agent yesterday ridiculed media reports that the Portuguese coach wrote a six-page letter to Manchester United setting out why he should be their next coach.

“It is absolutely ridiculous and totally absurd,” Jorge Mendes said of the reports that Mourinho, free since being sacked by Chelsea in December, had written a detailed analysis of how United could be revived.

The Independent yesterday said Mourinho explained in the letter how he would adapt his style of management to suit the Old Trafford style and how he would overhaul the squad. — AFP.
